Essential Question Practice

Skinny Block:
Use the story Valediction by Sherman Alexie to answer each one of these questions in a paragraph response. A minimum of 4 sentences each.

1.) What does the story tell about the storyteller? (What does the author think/feel about the subject of the story?)
2.) How does this story relate to the world around us? (Connect the story to our world)
3.) Why do we still read this? (What lesson does it teach?)
4.) What would you have done differently if you were the main character in the story?
5.) How can we use this story to better ourselves? (Relate the story to you personally, what part of it can make you better? Why?)
